ISO 27002:2022vsNIST SP 800-171 Rev 3
See exactly how ISO 27002:2022 controls map to NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3. Pre-computed mappings, identified gaps, and coverage analysis.
A reviewed coverage crosswalk for this pair is available. See which ISO 27002:2022 controls you already evidence.
According to the TheArtOfService Compliance Knowledge Graph:
ISO 27002:2022 maps to NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 with 77% coverage across 72 directly mapped controls. Analysis of 93 ISO 27002:2022 controls identifies 32 compliance gaps, primarily concentrated in Technological controls – ISO 27002:2022.

The ISO 27002:2022 to NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 controls your existing ISO 27002:2022 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
This direction has not been through crosswalk review and sign off, so no coverage figure is published for it. Reporting an unreviewed number would be worse than reporting none. It can be built to order at the same price as a pair that is already on the shelf.
If the two frameworks turn out to have too little in common for a crosswalk to help you, we say so and refund it rather than send a number worth nothing.
53 of 93 ISO 27002:2022 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3. 40 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Requires documented, disseminated, periodically reviewed security policy and procedures for every requirement family.
Grounded in 03.15.01 Policy and Procedures. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Requires information to be classified according to the organisation's information security needs, judged on confidentiality, integrity and availability and on the requirements of relevant interested parties.
Every one of the 53 evidenced controls and 40 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
- Every evidenced control, with the reasoning behind it
- Every gap, with what it requires
- Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number
Why this page shows two different percentages. The 77% in the header counts how many ISO 27002:2022 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 controls are actually evidenced, after a pass that argued against each mapping and kept only what survived. They answer different questions and they are not meant to agree.
A crosswalk narrows the work. It does not replace an audit, and your assessor may take a different view on individual controls. Mappings between frameworks are judgements, not text printed in either standard, which is why every claim in the report shows its reasoning. Questions go to support@theartofservice.com.

What are the key differences between ISO 27002:2022 and NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3?
ISO 27002:2022 has 93 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 covers 97 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 72 overlapping controls (77% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Technological controls – ISO 27002:2022, where 9 ISO 27002:2022 controls have no direct NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 equivalent.
How many controls map between ISO 27002:2022 and NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3?
Of 93 total ISO 27002:2022 controls, 72 map directly to NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 controls, representing 77% coverage. The remaining 32 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping ISO 27002:2022 to NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3?
32 ISO 27002:2022 controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3. The highest concentration of gaps is in Technological controls – ISO 27002:2022 with 9 unmapped controls. These gaps represent areas where additional controls, policies, or documentation must be created to achieve compliance with both frameworks.
Which control domains have the most gaps between ISO 27002:2022 and NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3?
The domain with the highest gap count is Technological controls – ISO 27002:2022 (9 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
